T-Wayne

T-Pain and Lil Wayne did mention about collaborating an album together but that's all that was said. No further sources claiming an album and the "Got Money" single was a Lil Wayne single, not as a duo.

Keep because they did in fact say that the name of the duo was T-Wayne,and they did say that Got Money will be on their album. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 01:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No reliable sources other than an off the cuff remark. That they said they did it is not something that falls under WP:V. This all falls under WP:CRYSTAL - on release, we can probably recreate if it all falls under WP:MUSIC. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:37, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the tiger. Fails WP:V for now since it's nothing but rumors. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 01:42, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the Tiger & TPH. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 02:06, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This has all been confirmed by the artists themselves.--Lilboogie (talk) 02:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete due to WP:V. Also, a check user for the two keep votes? Undeath (talk) 03:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because they both said they were forming a duo named T-Wayne. pzuelies —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.186.7.154 (talk) 06:00, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Lil Wayne and T-pain confirmed this on BET-- Yung Dre 59 01:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Remember that IPs cannot vote in AfD. Also, if you are going to say that they are planning the release, or they have confirmed it, show the sources. I could say that my grandma grew wings and flew to England, but I don't have proof of it. Undeath (talk) 13:32, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh god, where to begin... first, AfD, as is frequently noted, is not a vote. An administrator will take into account how many people agree with a certain opinion, but of greater importance are the rationales presented for each position. Second, anyone can comment in an AfD; IPs cannot create an AfD, but they are more than welcome to express their views. Third, while I agree that none of the sources present comment on a release date for the album, the first reference has T-Pain himself very clearly stating that the collaboration exists and mentioning the name of the album. -- User:Kicking222 (not signed in), 19:15, 30 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.247.142 (talk) [reply]
Comment There's plenty of sources up, including one from Billboard.com. And I could link you o a vid that shows Wayne and Pain's BET performance where they confirmed the group.--Lilboogie (talk) 14:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As said previous, it's been confirmed by the artists. - David Björklund (talk) 16:02, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If the artists confirm it, that does not make it notable. It needs "multiple independent sources". Until then, this article is not wikipedia worthy. Undeath (talk) 05:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This AfD has gone on for a week,so shouldn't it be closed now? ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 20:01, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Artist statements are not reliable sources, as they have very little control in the process anymore. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 23:21, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Billboard is good enough for me. Plus, the artists confirmed it, elsewhere. Radioinfoguy (talk) 03:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Once again. If the artists confirm it, that does not make it worthy for wikipedia. The artists are not a reliable third party source. This "band"/"duo" has not been presented in enough sources to make it confirmed. Undeath (talk) 06:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
